Red Carpet Treatment
The route leading to the pre-race stage for driver introductions for the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 will be kicked up a few notches on the prestige meter for this year’s NASCAR Playoffs race at Texas Motor Speedway. An actual red carpet will greet the drivers as they depart the pre-race meeting area located in the south garage building of the speedway’s infield. The red carpet will wind its way through the lower paddock area behind SpeedyCash.com Victory Lane, up the ramp to pit lane and then out to the pre-race stage at the start/finish line of the actual racing surface. Race fans with a Track Pass will be able to line either side of the entire route to cheer on their favorite driver and possibly get an autograph or two.
